Our Rules for Dogs

  • You must let us know in advance if you are intending to bring your dog. We only allow 1 dog which must be booked in by prior agreement. A dog that has not been booked in may not be allowed to stay and you will need to use a local kennel. We charge £35 for a dog per stay.
  • Dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms, but are allowed on the sofas provided that you use the throws provided and keep the dog from contact with the soft furnishings. We ask that you keep your dog on the ground floor. The stair gate we provide will help control your dog from going upstairs. We reserve the right to levy an extra cleaning charge if your dog has been on the beds or on the uncovered sofas.
  • Southwold Barn does not have a fully enclosed garden you will therefore need to control your dog such that it remains within the confines of the garden.
  • We have a number of cats in the area. If your dog has any problem with cats you must notify us prior to booking such that we can agree if bringing your dog is acceptable.
  • On arrival please keep your dog on the lead while you unpack and get your bearings. If your dog is sheep friendly you can let them off in the adjoinging field to strech their legs. Otherwise please keep your dog on a lead.
  • Your dog must not be left alone with free run of the property.
  • We ask that you bring towels to clean of your dog. Please on no account use the white towels provided for human use.
  • When you take your dogs for a walk, please pick up after your dog including in the field adjoining Southwold Barn.
